Question of the Week - 7 February 2005

[bbchris]

If you could pass your whole life cared for in every way as you slumbered peacefully, entranced by wonderful dreams, would you do so?

Crikey, how boring. yechh. And you'd have to have people move your muscles up and down and all around too, otherwise they'll waste. But if you're not going to use them why would you want muscles anyway...



Slightly OT, if I ever end up brain dead and on life support, I've already told Aby - they have to pull the plug.

[PANick11]

that sounds a little creepy...



I actually like getting out in the world and getting banged up a bit!



it's our wounded hearts that make us beutifull...I think.











""all alone or in twos

the ones who really love you

walk up and down outside the wall

some hand in hand

some gather together in bands

the bleeding hearts and the artists make their stand

and when they've given you their all

some stagger and fall

after all it's not easy

Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.""

Isn't the question the basis of the "Matrix" movie?

Actually, it's a quote from Stewie..

Pretty much...



There are other variations of the theme, also, like "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" (Twilight Zone) where this guy is to be hanged and his rope breaks, he falls in the water, swims away, marvels at everything he sees because he's a "livin man".



Then as he gets to his darling wife and goes to hug her, his neck jerks back and he's back at the bridge, hanging...

[bbchris]

I've seen a few of those Twilight Zones - they are VERY good!

The sad reality is that all but a small percentage of people go through life in a dream, their own little universe (comfort zone). The never get to see what life is all about, just what they have been preprogrammed to see and believe. Only a few open their eyes and see reality.

"The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact
mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows."


~ Frank Zappa

Interesting observation Sintz...
